My Christmas Wish list...

Dear Hasbro,

Here is what I would like to hear you have planned in the upcoming year.

The last of the Vintage Figures resculpted in the new line-up. This includes Wooof (originally Klaatu in palace outfit), General Crix Madine, Cloud Car Pilot, and Imperial Dignitary. And the other Ewoks if you have time. I know we've got some Ewoks coming, so good job.

Finish up the Max Rebo band two packs. The first set with Thunder Drummers Ak-Rev and Umpass-Stay( and a thunder drum, of course). The second with Rappertunie and Jess, the silvery-haired dancer.

I agree with Rollo completely on all of his ideas. Add in stillakid's "bucket o' Stormtroopers" and we'd have a banner year for Star Wars fans.

What's that?

Oh, Artoo says the chances of Hasbro actually giving two craps about our wish lists so close to a movie release year are approximately 4,968,459,450,350,876,448,984,539,798 to 1.

"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence… When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis

I'd also like Hasbro to bring back the Expanded Universe line. There is obviously interest in non-movie figures in Pawtucket, since we keep getting concept-art Jedi after concept-art Jedi. C'mon, guys! The Expanded Universe figures sold like hotcakes and were, for the time, among the nicest figures in the line. Imagine how nice they'd be now that there are photo references for three of the most requested characters (Corran Horn, Talon Karrde, and a Mara Jade resculpt). I can guarantee that they wouldn't be clogging pegs like Jedi Training Obi-Wan.

You know that the square root of 4,968,459,450,350,876,448,984,539,798 is 7,0487,299,922,403.585063999728937554. The precise number of Midichlorians that it takes to move an R2 unit one meter! I think I read that somewhere.

Anyway, thanks for Bucket O' nod. I'll concur with all the previous ideas. Less resculpts, more of the figures that we have never seen in plastic, and definitely more full sized ships and quality playsets. Enough of this Attack Sith Speeder and underwater Obi Wan crap. I'd also like to reiterate a nod for my sectional ball-like Death Star playset. I'm telling you, it's affordable and would sell like hotcakes!
